Sportsbook Website – Betting the Props in NBA Games. The NBA season is here with odds on the board at the sportsbook website. While you already know about the side and total and perhaps even the quarter and halftime bets at the sportsbook, what you might not know about is the prop bets. And they are available on most nights since there are a lot of games on TV. Let’s first refresh your memory as to what a prop bet is at the sportsbook. It is a bet on something that goes beyond the side and total. It might be something as simple as the first team to score or it might be a matchup where one player is up against another in terms of points or rebounds.
Prop Examples
Let’s take the first night of the NBA season to give you an example of the props you can bet at Sbgglobal. And remember that the props are usually available on the TV games so that means you have a lot of action to choose from.
Team to Score First
This is simple enough and usually each team will be listed with odds of -110 to -120. When the game is predicted to be close you can expect the odds on props like that to be close.
Team to Score the First 10 Points
This is really a race to see which team gets to 10 first. In a close game on the odds board you can expect a pick. You have a similar prop on which team gets to 20 and 30 first. When a team is favored you can expect to see their money line rise on these wagers. For example, Miami was -125 to get to 30 before Boston in the first game.
Team Leading After the 1st Quarter to Win
A popular prop you oftentimes will see is whether or not the team leading after the first quarter will win. The Yes is usually -200 or so with the No at +150 or so.
Total Points Props
In the opener Miami’s number was 95 so you could be over or under that amount for the Heat. Boston’s was 93.5. You will see props like that all year on TV games.
These are just a few examples of props you can wager on throughout the season on TV games at the sportsbook website.
